Many women experience some type of breast concern during their lifetime. This could include a lump, a change in breast tissue, breast pain, nipple discharge or something else. It is important to remember that most breast disorders are not cancer. Whether you simply need to schedule a mammogram, or you are worried that something is wrong with your breast, we can help.

Early detection is key to breast cancer survival. Did you know that in Oregon, we are behind the national average for breast cancer screening in women? Let's change that. Talk with your provider if a 3D or routine mammogram is right for you. We offer screenings at convenient times, including Saturdays.
